Undocumented Colorado Residents Can Now Renew their Driver’s License Online

Starting in the new year, undocumented immigrants in Colorado can renew their driver’s licenses online.

This change is a result of a state Senate bill passed earlier in 2018 to modify the Colorado Road and Community Safety Act. The new law will allow undocumented Coloradans renew driver’s licenses online. It will also allow a Social Security number (SSN) to be used to obtain instruction permits and identification cards as well as driver’s licenses.

These residents were required to make a physical appointment to renew their document. However, as of January 1st, 2019, they can renew online.
